This issue occurs when customers are restricted from submitting tickets due to Freshservice settings. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve it:
1. Check the Requester’s Status
Navigate to Admin > Users and search for the affected requester.
Ensure they are marked as Active and not Disabled or Blocked.
If they are blocked, unblock them by clicking Edit > Enable Requester.
2. Check Portal Access Settings
Go to Admin > Support Channels > Portal Settings.
Under Who can submit tickets?, check if the setting is Restricted (e.g., only users with specific email domains can submit tickets).
If needed, change it to allow Anyone with an account or Anyone from allowed domains.
3. Verify Group Restrictions
Some organizations restrict ticket creation to specific groups.
Go to Admin > Groups and ensure that the requester belongs to a group that can create tickets.
4. Check Spam or Abuse Protection
Freshservice has built-in spam protection that can mistakenly flag users.
Go to Admin > Security Settings and check if any settings are blocking certain domains or IPs.
